Paul Van Dyk Reveals “Verano” Featuring Austin Leeds
Due out March 20 on his own VANDIT label, EVOLUTION is Paul van Dyk’s (PvD) first major offering since 2007’s In Between and his sixth studio album overall. It is the product of the Berlin-based electronic dance music producer and performer’s months of studio time, and far more time spent on the road traveling the globe. The backbone of the album was built while performing and composing in front of live audiences worldwide and its connecting threads build upon decades of watching the electronic dance music scene grow and change. The first offering, available today, Friday, February 3 as a free download exclusively via www.paulvandyk.com, is “Verano” featuring Austin Leeds. EVOLUTION is now available for pre-order in CD and digital formats and also as 180 gram double vinyl at the site as well.
Skrillex, Diplo & A-Trak: The Billboard Cover Story
The three guys stand shoulder to shoulder, backs to the wall, attempting to balance their varying heights with staggered stances.
Diplo is the tallest and most camera-trained, tilting his head and adjusting his hot-professor glasses. He has, after all, modeled for a GQ magazine spread, making multicolor turtlenecks look somehow hip. “EDM!” he shouts, in place of “cheese.”

Skrillex is a DJ and electronic dance music producer who’s real name is Sonny Moore. His haircut is asymmetrical and his preferred genre of music is currently dubstep, though he got his first musical breaks as the singer of a screamo band called From First to Last.
This week Skrillex played a string of gigs in the New York area, which means that critics from taste-making websites were able to stop by his shows, where they were shocked by what they saw and forced to confront their creeping climb into the attic of adulthood, a place where bloggers aren’t accustomed to finding themselves.

Preview: Markus Schulz - Los Angeles ‘12
During the last weeks of 2011, via a dedicated video-cast, Markus Schulz revealed that the setting for his 2012 City compilation would be the sprawling electronic dancetropolis of Los Angeles.
On making the announcement, Markus said: “electronic dance music has blown up huge in the United States this past 12 months. One of the main reasons driving that is the scene in Los Angeles, where a new generation of clubbers are uniting with long-term fans and creating one of the most passionate scenes anywhere on the globe. I’ve played there many times in my career, at the Monster Massive festivals, the Electric Daisy Carnivals and 3 years New Years Eves at Together As One, and they’ve all been so memorable in their own way!”
